The issue I have with the timestamp given by overpass is it ignores the XAPI output format, even in XAPI compatibility mode. Since at least 2010 the XAPI output has included xapi:planetDate and xapi:copyright attributes to the <osm> element, not as stand-alone tags. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
